the long term. loosely here lee's leg long luck and leg leg . most of the carbon. from across the earth is millions of years old coal particularly interesting because. you know the energy generated coal actually may be the cheapest fuel but it also releases were both curb to be what

was for its car books i begin to get a ernest with the development of the state budget in the late seventy's and early eighty's hundreds he would have been good to. extract fossil carbon from the earth's crust coal oil natural gas the absence of humans over sub prime pretty good it would be up with the didn't subject to a religion and. not returned to the atmosphere but those rates are tiny compared to the ability of humans to grow up with large machines to deliver a large quantities of this material to the surface of the earth where it is burdened it will use the generation of editing we have larger quitman that was introduced on surface lands about twenty five years ago you know less and which accounted for the the ability to recover coal seams that heretofore been

unmanageable you subtract like skylab manning seen step work an economic system and even physically impossible. without the use of that. many people twenty five years ago when the first company said it will bring a bright line they were laughed at and they said there's no way in the world you get a piece of equipment like that on the ridges southern appalachia and they were determined through engineering abilities and persistence to make certain that it worked and and it hates.

the man was. playing. loose who. was fledgling would be. seen. to be playing illegal aliens mostly. sunni muslim. but he played these little children i'm sorry little children were reported to them night from an area i'm currently. a benefit to a number of people to come and i know you don't have the right person and i can't be able to find work from every car ever either foreign cars from airplanes or

there are some here or think that they are cheaper to destroy creation lower. her. as a model. we're going to start coming. to. see you. but i never thought down my pet peeves i'm going. to need to keep her desperate japanese community happy if dismantling the community. once he's left and so i'm gone there is no more afterlife. there is no world with it don't grow back it's not going come back i mean you know we had a politician get up on tavi not long ago he said well the reason again saying it's

raining think the deer are in. order about this thousand acres. that's nothing but. a process mountaintop removal coal mining is an awesome display of coal extraction engineering it is also quite simpler once the site is a den of clear cutting begins next explosives are used to blast away the earth and serial polson. then machinery including massive shovels called drag lines ruby over which is then deposited at an adjacent valleys called valley fills a mountaintop removal coal mining can bring down the elevation of a peak hundreds of feet sites are often thousands of acres in size but i think it's our latest action rather than let's work and resume. in the spring of two thousand and five a group of activists college students and local citizen conservation groups joined

together to oppose the widespread increase in mountain top removal mines throughout southern appalachian training the group called their campaign mountain just this summer there was going to be kind of this renewal of coal mining in tennessee and some of those mines are going to be you know mounds of removal mines. you know we were like hey this is you know now we're dealing with this issue too it's not just an issue in kentucky and west virginia like hey let's put something together and kind of up the level of opposition to this issue and let's help make this issue of national issues that everybody has the dealing. say what they're doing one. since some ways they're dividing our community. i've got nothing against free speech so when you come in here the mandan people's jobs and closure schools dale. and i and although you're lucky you don't get hurt. if

somebody is in california or north carolina or new york city they're connected to mountaintop removal because they're turning on the lights they're opening strategy was to draw attention to a school situated close to a mountaintop removal site and marsh fork west virginia. c'mon is owned by massey energy america's fourth largest coal producer marsh fork elementary is a very very scary situation they have two point eight billion gallons of coast story which is why it's toxic it's toxic material it has arsenic layer chromium there's a lot of really really bad chemicals in this sludge there is a lake at the two point eight billion gallons of coast guard sitting behind this elementary school four hundred yards on top of them. there's two hundred twenty eight kids in the school. the sophistication of engineering it goes into the

construction of the woods is i suspect not duplicated in any other physical structure anywhere in the world in one nine hundred seventy two buffalo creek there was this disaster where one of these and found in space and cleaned blew out millions of gallons of this nasty sludge water went barreling down a small holler and killed one hundred twenty five people destroyed like four thousand houses a thousand cars and you know hundreds of people were injured. besides the danger of flooding while you know the residents are concerned about the health effects posed to school children from the coal processing facility located directly behind marsh fork elementary so instead story hundred feet away three hundred fifty feet away it made her sister a click off the rear end you got seriously a little problems over you got the magnetite we got the rock you got the ammonia

they use the bad. they use diesel fuel in there they mix all the stuff together you've got bad headaches all the time you got asmer problems occurred more more down are coming. through ok. it was i often look in a lot of people like look all the time just drain all the time the kids will come home with blisters and their mild little tiny blisters the size of a painted or when they're mild. but not everyone shares their concerns in the small community where many residents work for the coal industry that surrounds them with a powerful enough i was scared i would not let her go there and she will be in first grade she with in kindergarten last year i don't playground three times a day and more like college clothes and the like i see never came home helping

dirty with colored shirts or you know in a big mess and i have medical records that prove this he has not had anything other than a common cold up like any other child. we. have. been . frustrated with local schools and government officials you know action on improving safety at marsh work elementary as one whose granddaughter kayla attends marsport home entry launches the pennies a promise campaign to raise six million dollars to build a new school and so with us here. is that. the side that. is it your money. maker. and let's you want to build a school because i don't like. to start the pennies or promise campaign wiley and his granddaughter taylor present the governor with over

four hundred dollars in penance he can orders collector. we'd like to see the governor we have some money to present him. and see the story there. step down kids everywhere how you're doing michael good to see you we have a young lady here from north fork elementary like her usually pretty the south and . it's. hate i can see. people going to start. after school or something. so you go to the center. and. it's. ok to have a little get what you have for you but this is our campaign ok. now we're going to just say you know this cause i know we worked on this some we talked about it the

force of the school yes or in the schools where we are with a local board of education to start all over this back up a whole lot we're not going to get them but if you took us for north to protect away from west we're going to get women has someone tell you today ok you know what we're not going to do what we've been doing you put a price on our children's heads when you store dislike of what haitian in our state eat be put a price this is not an environmental issue this is a little human vein i have tried for two years to work with you on this and i've been in the work and i don't mean to put you on the softball here but enough is enough enough it's enough we need to get this took care of your business what these coal companies as europe is and your politics this is not about politics we're asking people for money all of this country today's our official announcement of it so it's just it's just in the stages we want to raise five to ten million dollars it's going to happen we want you to be a part of this we want you to support our efforts we want to help you do a better job and i appreciate i don't mean to be upset with but if this was your

child would you not be well you know there's no you know happens and she's beautiful and so what we should we care about our children down there and there are serious problems with a lot of issues and i know you're aware of there's intimidation going on there a lot of intimidation a teacher to spoke out last year and now he's been talking for. we all got what he called the everything in my car the one thing that means that i do everything in my guys but that we got a. journalist jeff goodell is book big coal the dirty secret behind america's energy future explores the history and use of coal in america and throughout the world like many americans i didn't even realize that we still burn coal you know i thought coal was something that went out with top hats and corsets i thought that electricity was just something that flowed down from a golden bowl in the sky i never gave any thought to where it came from the idea that coal produces fifty percent of electricity in america never occurred to me so i went down to west virginia and i didn't know what to expect i remember i first

knew i was driving outside of charleston and i saw the boom on one of the big drag line swinging above the hills and i pulled off the road and i hiked up through the woods to the top of this hill and i got this view down into this mystery and it was just like hell had opened up before me. the money and the coal mining has always gone to the top and been siphoned out by the the owners essentially whether their corporations are called barons like don blankenship it's a commodity business every penny they have to spend for safety for wages for health care or anything like that is money that they see coming directly out of their pocket and you know the history of coal mining is very clear on this there's no it's not a subtle thing you know this is an industry that views workers as disposable and views the landscape as disposable and it's all about getting the coal out of the

ground as quickly as possible. i. told. them out of love just go with you bottom yourself. and if you were starting out in the manners you had have those tools and they'd let you get a more creative company still. for about three practices but it is way more your coke leaves head company stores and harvey you live in your copy if you work for them they didn't catch in some i also store. and one of the others on matters that are still owed the company store you couldn't kid just one play while. he made company money come a script don't price it wasn't you it was company store as i got my dated script

it's worth more today than it was but. i. usually help you know you can make more of the right here sell the kit trick i want you to use will to build objective. give you hand call a stamp you number of what you got your car loaded with coal somewhere on this car you would i want to check that. i would be a mule driver well times i'd be go on board. in one state school he would probably need to go in here drop it off unhook each meal from a car to the full. right now it was real easy loud rock in what you call and we'll show you why you got a water tank in a slot. of the little water drip in your career about a writer. it's just and there's a smear of good but it works pretty good. growth

not one of you. you know look at the history of our area faithfully they with big communities now today with great rings big companies still worth everything the people i mean with this company housed all down that river our stuff can set their . our schools are good because there is no learning always stores were closed and nothing is coming back these are other straight people with this coal company in their tie can take an entire week and never put them dark it's all going to go there wally west virginia broke in go go no we're. yours. top removal site moved into the head waters of the stream that runs home in the past five years i've been flooded seven times there's been about five

acres of my property it's washed away into the stream down below where i live. my properties been completely devastated devalued there's no way i could say one reason ok my property it's worth it the mining company had the option of getting in touch with me and let me know what was coming i mean when they get in and they trapped me and my kids have a flooding hollow and basically trashed our lives now when someone does that to you you don't go along with it you have no choice but to go against i don't home to it i live in the middle of this. because it's ok it's ok that maybe he'll be away from southern west virginia where is the middle of this hailstorm i ask my son. roan.

i don't know nobody nothing and i don't own these million jobs i don't own jobs and if i thank god there are gender day and wrong across appalachians coal fields mining jobs are vital to local economies my husband has worked with the f.a.a. for just going on here so it's just we really appreciate a massive that's where we get our money that you know our way of living but traditional deep mining requires more workers and mountaintop removal since nine hundred fifty the total number of mining jobs has steadily decreased from approximately one hundred twenty thousand to less than twenty thousand today over the same period coal production has steadily increased twenty coalfield residents are also concerned about another byproduct of coal production slurry pons. the slurry impoundments the way that we dispose of the refuse that comes from the

cleaning of coal. which is literally nothing but dirt and rock coming that's when you're separating from the coal so that's what you're disposing of it's not toxic it's not you know as people many people would like you to believe that there's something only it's the indigenous dirt rock and it was caught up in the coal seam in that matter material includes mercury lead arsenic and a whole suite of heavy metals which as long as they're in that rock you can drink the water because they will be underground they'll be they will not be exposed to oxygen but if you don't disturb them they will not be brought into solution and you can literally some of the best water we have in west virginia comes right out of a coal seam but when you disturb that rock and start grinding it up into fine particles adding a whole bunch of chemical additives to it to get it to separate the coal from the other inorganic materials and then you come out with this which is brew material

that you would want any exposure to it all we know almost nothing about it i've got a database now has fourteen samples worldwide of coal slurry that are in the public domain six of these are from the post martin county you know that the biggest environmental disaster in the southeastern united states six samples representing what that material that entered our rivers and streams really is which i find rather prosperous three hundred nine million gallons faking over fifty miles of a major river system a spill bigger than the exxon valdez we took six samples the occurrence that happened in kentucky. was simply one where you had one built over all the. underground ones and they gave way in the bottom and that's what happened the structure itself to. go county west virginia within sight of massey energy c.e.o. don blankenship soem common leader brown has been battling proclaimed want to be.

twenty some years ago. our water turned black waxed right and i asked our hollering and screaming to my husband got up and asked and asked i was wrong he came in haste when he meant that he said i want obviously that's close laurie. we went and looked at fifteen wells. set the samples off to the laboratory got the testing results back in and some analysis on those results and it was pretty compelling that we needed to do more research down there i've never seen water quality that poor. pretty good compared to what it was this morning these documents from the west virginia department of natural resources researched by mountain just as some are volunteers are permits for coal slurry injections that took place in the early one nine hundred eighty s. at the slurry impoundment located approximately two miles above carmelita brown

soem this permit shows that over two hundred eight million gallons of slurry was injected in nineteen eighty-four in one thousand nine hundred five this permit describes three injections and nineteen eighty-four into an abandoned underground mine at the rate of six hundred gallons per minute the basis for injecting. coal slurry and other things other wastes underground as an e.p.a. one nine hundred eighty sed study called underground injection control well that's the oxymoron of the century underground injection control and what control do we have when we inject something underground i have no idea where it goes these forward if i actually air the with the pull out the lower for some reason went bankrupt or whatever all the story you know who's responsible for the town i got the paperwork we know that calories are responsible for the clean up of the

story. clearly there were nobody wanted to help us nobody want nobody was concerned and it wasn't only maybe it was oh my mayors that down this road the patients i see for all have significant medical problems other people don't have. a greater number of people with alzheimer's disease and old timers disease memory loss i've seen a great number of people who have numbness and tingling of their arms and legs which indicates a heavy metal. accumulation seemed a fair amount of love just ill health my next door neighbors on the kidney dialysis another neighbor a man is around if i have lost clearly have had to have a kidney transplant i have problems with my kidneys the timea water exposes and too many types of metals cadmium among others because canadian page. now several people are not necessary has lost babies. i carried him six seven months.
